As our Readers must feel the strongest interest in the fate of our gallant countrymen abroad, it is with much pleasure we inform them, that Dr. BLAN2, who had been sent by Government to 'examine -into the state of the troops at Wal liercn, has just returned from that island, and his report is highly favourable as to the abatement of the malady. The number of Patients received into the hospitals during the last week, and the week before, was less by a thousand than had been usually afFeaed within the same period. This morning we received German Papers to the 7th instant. The following are their principal con- tents :-- BANKS OF THE ELBE, OCT. 6.—Private letters from Bohemia and Hungary still continue to repre sent the hope of an ultimate peace between Austria and France as more and more wavering. Perhaps the re turn of the last Courier from St.Petersburgh wllith was expe&ed in the middle cf the present month will bring all to an issue. The return of Prince PosTa Coavo, 4BERNADOTT.E) from Faris to Austria, was con sidered in many politieal circles in that capital as a certain omen of war. The conditions of peace between Russia and Swed::n, it must be regretted are hard for Sweden, and directly opposi to to the political interest which has hitherto subsisted between that unfortunate Power a:ld Great Britain. HAmhußon,OoT.6.—The ratification of the treaty ' between R1.:.:513 and Sweden, is to be exchanged at St.Petersburgh within 4 weeks. The King of Sweden engages by it no longer to admit English ships of war, or merchantmen, into Swedish ports, but has re served to himself the impartation of salt and colo nial produce.—(Ccrrespondenten.) Last night Vilcniteu-s to the sth inst. arr;ved, but they contain no ii;telligence respeCting the Negocia rioni, nor irtJeed any news of importance. Ald'ough we have not recently received any posi tive intelligence respecting BUONAPARTE'S health, y-:, we think there are strong grounds for su.pea;ng that he is by no means recovered from the illness under whieh he laboured. ,The Dutch Papers tell us that he was elpeEted at the Court of Bavaria, where prepatations were making for his reception, while at the same time the German Papers assert that he was going to Breun, and the Hari burgh Paper , under the direction of BOURIENNE, stated that the Imperial equipages were on the road to Spain.— But we know from sub,sequent accounts that he bad not quitted Schoenbrunn. We knew that 1 ..1e was most seriously indisposed, that his rea on was affeded, that Physicians were sent for front Paris, that the question of peace or war was ror settled at the end of September, and it is very remarkable that BOURIENNE'S own Paper, the Ham turh Cortepondent,' acknowledged that the Aus trian Minister was about to quit Altenburgh, and to break otT the Conferences, when M. DE CHAM TAGNY informed him that he had other propoSitions to make to him, which might be agreeable to Aus- From these accounts it is evident either that ;nil. Bi;ONAPARTf. still continues ill, or else that he -is not in a condition to diaate a peace to Austria: But it has been said, that the Court of Russia is essen tially interested in the-e Negociations, and that Pe tersburgh being at so great a distance from Vienna, the exchange_ of couriers necessarily prolonged the Negotiations. But if that were the case, how did it happen that CHAMPAGNY detained Count 'MeT 7 TE,RNICif, the Austrian Ambassador, to acquaint. him that. he had propositions to make, which Austria would be inclined to listen to ? , There - can be no doubt that about the end of Au oust BCONAPIIRTE was seriously ill. His illness was 'certainly not; mentioned in the ffreoch or Dutch - T'apers, but•thr fact of the Physicians being-seql for to Paris is undoubted; yet at that _very time we were, told in the French' and Duch Papers that he was reviewing the different corps of his army, re ceiving Ambassadors, and corresponding with the lz , lnero rof Austria. It is impcbsible to account for these contradietions; and for the continued pro-, tr ation of the, Ncgociations, without supposing ther that the illness of BUOt,!APARTE srai continues, cr that he flints •hirnielf unable to dictate terms of V.v.ce to Austria: .Tho resistance which Austria has made to 13UONAPARTe5 propositions must naturally have irritated his irascible temper„ and can it be doubted that if he had it in his power to overwhelm Austria, as we are told in his Papers that he has, that he would have hesitated to do it, or that his political relations with Russia would have delayed his operations for a moment ? The Proclamation which los lately published in Russia, against all persons - circulating false and--un favourable reports, has very much the appearance of being of Friillicit' origin, and most probably was the produ&ion of CAs LAi coua r. The discontents which have manifested themselves in Russia have caused great uneasiness to the Emperor ALEXANDER. — When be was overturned in his carriage some time ago, he could not be persuaded that it was the efied of accident, and upon his return to the palace, he expressed his apprehensions in very unequivocal terms. Mad. RENARD, however, and CAULAlti coura, succeeded in calming his apprehensions. One of the Opposition Papers has this morning made a very curious discovery, which is, that because a partial change has taken place in the Administra tion, that therefore Parliament ought immediately to be assembled. No authorities have been quot ed in Support of this do&rine, and the rea soning is such as might naturally have been expected in aid of so sagacious a proposition. — The argument stands thus :—When a Member of Parliament accepts a place of profit under the Crown' he vacates his seat—therefore, when any change takes place in the Administration, Parliament must be immediately assembled. Now, we really do not see that such a conclusion necessarily follows from such premises, or that they have any natural connexion. The late Ministers certainly were not aware of this new . doctrine, or if they were, they did not aa upon it ; for though . , tip on Mr. Fox's death, there were changes in the Foreign Office, and in the Admiralty, yet it was not . deemed necessary to call Parliament together, nor did it, we believe, once enter into any body's imagi nation that such a measure was necessary.

Yesterday morning the rear division of the 15th Dragoons marched through the metropolis, on their mutt: to Weymouth. His Excellency Lieut.-General DON was expe&ed to leave Jersey on the 9th inst. to take the command st \Valcberen. In answer to an application to the Board of Trade, by several merchants engaged in the trade to Russia, respeding the extent and duration of licenses for the ensuing year, it was notified to the latter, that it was not the intention, of Government to grant li cznaes for a longer period than three months. The American ship Horace passed Elsineur on the 29 t h September, having on board Mr. Jolts; QUIN.. CEY ADAMS, the newly appointed Minister to the Court of St. Petersburgh from the United States. The Horace, notwithstanding the importance of her charge, was compelled by' the Danish Government to pay the Sound Dues, before she was permitted to proceed on her voyage.

On Monday a most unfortunate accident happen ed at Weymouth. As a boat was coming on duty, to the harbour, from his Majesty's yacht Royal So vereign, in passing the Bar, a squall of wind upset the boat, and Mr. JOHN BURRARD, 'Midshipman, and son of General Sir H. BURRARD, was drowned„ Through the exertions of other boats from the shore and shipping, the rest of the people were saved.

BRUNS, (IN MoRAVIA), SEM% 19.—0 n the 16th instant the Emperor Napoleon arrived in our place, and alighted at the Hotel of the states, where a de putation of the Statel of Moravia yesterday waited on his Majesty. At eleven o'clock the Emperor proceeded to the field of battle of Austerlitz, where he reviewed the third army. On the return of his Majesty the whole town was illuminated. This morning the Emperor left this place for Vienna. The negociations for peace are continued in Al tenburgh without intermission ; but all the reports in circulation relative to the terms of peace are most certainly without foundation. ZURICH, Scrt. 26.-..-His Excellency the Landam man proposes to immediately renew the negociations relative. to the territories dependent on Switzerland, which have been sequestrated in Swabia, by the Kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg. in all thtL eastern Can , tons of,Switzerland, the prohibition to export powder, lead, and other similar objects, - into the Voralberg and the Tyrol; have been renewed, on the recom mendation of the Landatnman, who has addressed circular letters on this subject, to the Cantons of Zurich, Schafhausen, Turgovea, the Grisons, These circular letters signify, that in a part .of the Swiss frontiers a clandestine traffic is carried on with the neighbouring countries in ammunition, which cannot be tolerated, without danger of compromising the, Helvetic neutrality, New prohibit i ons- have been accordingly published by many of the Can tons. That of 'St. Gall declares the offenders enemies to their country, and orders that they •shall be brought before the tribunal of criminal justice of the cantond, and punished with the utmost rigour of the laws. The four Swiss regiments in, the service of France are completing ; they will amount in the whole to 15,608 men. The general statement of the cantonal contingents gave 1 . 5,946, but the various modes of recruiting, - which has for some time been suspended, prevents this total from being I rendered complete. The last Diet recommended to the Landamman to take proper measures to remove the obstacles which the enrolment had met with from the regiments, and their councils of administfa., lion. _ . Some cantons, which are in arrears relative to others, with respell to the levies of men presented to them, have also been required from•the Diet, and are to-day to regulate themselves in this particular without delay. STUTGARD, SEPT. 5.--Thp process 'commenced at Lintfau against the insurgents of the Yoraltlerg still coAtinues. COri7,24T-CARDEN THEATRE. We have still to record the prevalence of clamour and confusion at this place. The scene of last night was nearly the same as reported. yesterday.—The first three ails of Speed the Plough were heard with attention, and this attention continued for such a length of time even after the beginning of the fourth aa, as promise a favourable reception of the rest of the play. Here, however, the usual spirit was forcibly manifested, and nothing could be heard after wards during the play and entertainment, which was Rosina. It was not to be inferred that the op ponents of the Managers did not appear till the half price took place, for it is probable that a very strong party were in various parts of the Theatre, and only waited to declare themselves when they had gained an accession of strength. The chief opposition ap peared in the Pit. Lord YARMOUTH and the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN were in this place, and being known, were called upon, in expeetation that they would make a speech. Lord YARMOUTH took no notice of these calls, but Mr. CRAVEN resisted the introduction of his name in manly terms, and told one of the persons who addressed him, that if he had any thing to say to him he knew where to find him. Mr. CRAVEN was then accused of attending night after night in opposition to the Managers. He repelled the charge with indignation, and said be came there with the right of an Englishmen, to ex press his sentiments of approbation or disapprobation according to the dilates of his judgment and his feelings. This short address, whi4 h was delivered with true British spirit, was much applauded by the surrounders. It must be acknowledged that the opposition bee . gins to bear a less offensive character than it has be- 1 fore exhibited. The hideous sounds arising from -.. the various instruments of annoyance have ceased, I ; and though the opposition is as noisy as ever, i t i s less ferocious. There was some fighting in the Pit, and a few skirmishes in other places, but nothing of a serious complexion. Two or three persons were taken into custody, and an attempt was made to seiie a Gentleman who had been very vehement ill opposition to the new prices, but he was resolutely defended by the people who surrounded him, and finally escaped. . There were a new supply of Placards, as they are called, and many reflecting on the conduct ot the Newspapers, for first defending the public cause, 1 and then, taking part with the .Nlanagers. 'We shalt ,' t leave these Papers to justify themselves, though it , ri must be observed, that they have a right to exercise •. , their judgment as well as these who have adhered to their original sentiments. 'We have been uniform in_our conduct. We disapproved of the engagement ',i of CATALAN!, and we openly avowed our clisappro- bation. As to the augmentation of prices, vie gave ~, i 1 no opinion at all, deterteined to wait for the dec;-.. stun ot the Committee, and the documents whicl!

The band of Israelites did not venture to appear last night, and after a wort triumph of applause, when the dramatic entertain- ments were over, the crowd quietly dispersed. The following are the inscriptions on the chief of the labels which appeared in the Theatre last night = . " A fair account, and we'll submit-- Imposure shall not gull toe Pit. If Kuda - z.a shews his claim is just, Our will's to pay—but he sha'rit say, MUST." "Shall Britons be subdued by the wandering tribe of TeruA salern ?" " Shall a Christian People be subdued by the wanderers or Israel ?" " Old Prices for ever :" with a device ot JOHN hin..i. blow. ing a horn. " Old Pricts, and NO Priv..te Boxes."
